For cleaners
Making your own cleaners makes sense for the environment, your pocket and it also minimises the funding you give to the large manufacturers of the products which use oil to make the cleaners. Most major companies manufacturing such products are involved in the exploitation of poor countries including stealing a country's resources by funding goverment backed attacks in the Middle East and maintaining the power of corrupt regimes.

Unfortunately, paints made from natural materials which are non pollutants can cost more than polluting paints. However, non polluting paints help create a healthier environment for our children. They do not aggravate asthma or eczema and hence promote peace and well being. We must always consider quality of the products we buy rather than quantity. We must buy less, but buy quality products otherwise we are merely accumulating rubbish around us and taking part in the deterioration of our childrens' mental and physical well-being as well as the world around us.
